Local Driving Tips
Start lessons away from the city centre to build confidence before tackling Foregate Street and Shrub Hill junctions. Use the A4440 and M5 Junction 6 for longer, faster-road practice. Watch for narrow lanes and one-way sections near the cathedral and riverside. Practice roundabout entries on the A38 and changes in traffic flow at peak times.
